Name: Judith K. Puetz commentsTo Elaine’s family – I was saddened to hear of your mother’s passing last night, but am joyful for her because she has entered her new life. I worked with Elaine at the Columbus Telegram and she made me smile every day. If I was down about something I knew I could just stop by her office and chat for a bit and I’d feel better when I left! Last January Carol and Phyllis (2 more former Telegram workmates) and I had the privilege of spending a Sunday afternoon with her to celebrate her 80th birthday. I had not seen Elaine for a few years and we just had the very best time together! She was, indeed, “Queen of the Manor” during her birthday week. Her sense of humor was her greatest gift and I will smile and remember the good times whenever I think of her. She was the best! Judy Puetz Name: Marlys Degn commentsMany years ago I worked with Elaine at the Telegram. We had many good times together. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Marlys Degn Name: Carol Keller commentsTo Elaine's family - I had the honor of working with Elaine at the Telegram. We all liked Elaine and appreciated her intelligence, wit and sense of humor. She was so capable and talented, but was ever modest about her accomplishments. I am so glad that I was able to be part of her 80th birthday celebration in January. She will be missed. Sincerely, Carol Keller Name: Nadine Kliment commentsElaine has always been my very favorite aunt. We loved her dearly, and will miss her very much. Name: Adam,Nicole, and Sophia Vanek commentsI will always remember Grandma for her Thanksgiving get togethers and the feast she used to prepare. Ah the goose, sauerkraut and dumplings, cheese corn souffle, and pumpkin pie were the best. I can taste it now. Dad, Nicole, Sophia and I love you. Name: Doyle Higginbotham commentsMy thoughts and prayers are with you all. I was glad to be able to see Dave and Wayne again but I did not get the chance to speak to Carol. I remember your mother as tough but fair. That is good. I remember her children with fond memories and hope to meet them again someday. Please feel free to write me at 3416 - 18th Street, Columbus, NE. 68601. Or even call (402)564-8530 once again I am sorry for your loss and I am sure she is where you will meet her again. Sincerely, Doyle Higginbotham Name: Don Ellison commentsI dressed for the furneral this AM and checked for the time. For some reason I had it marked for today, Tuesday. Needless to say I missed your Mother's funeral and the opportunity to see you kids. You have my sympathy for the loss of your Mother. I always enjoyed it when she and your Father stopped in at the bank. It was a pleasure doing business with the Vanek family. You are in my prayer. Don Name: Melody Smith commentsI wanted to tell you that the time I knew your Mother, and was around the family, as my brother put it she was a tough cookie, but a gracious woman. I am sure you miss her and am also happy that she is now with our Lord and Savior. God bless.
